Scratch
- Term used to describe a temporary file or location in memory storage that a computer uses as a place to store data currently being worked on. When the file is closed or exited properly, that location or file is permanently deleted. However, if the file is abnormally closed, then the scratch file can be used to recover most of the changes made to the file.
- Term used to describe a scuff, nick, or other mark found on a surface of an object.
